Raspberry pi- doesn't show MPPT

'Just connected my Rasp 3B+ to my system using Venus os. That part works fine.

The BMV and MPPT are both connected with VE direct USB cables

The BMV-712 is found on Venus
The MPPT 150/60 is NOT found on Venus

I tried changing the cables but there's no difference.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks

Are they homemade or genuine Victron cables?

Is the VE direct port on the MPPT set for normal communications? If you use a laptop or other computer with Victron Connect, and the usb cable, does it show up?

The solution- on the MPPT set TX to "normal communication"

That solved the immediate problem.
